Punjabi Singer Jazzy B on Wednesday reached Singhu border to express solidarity with the farmers, who have been protesting for over a month against the new agriculture laws, and to celebrate New Year with them.
“I am going to celebrate New Year here with the farmers. This is a great place to be here. I want to feel their energy. We will begin the new year with new resolutions,” said the singer.
Speaking about the role of artists in the agitation, he said, “Any type of artist needs to convey the message he wants to send out. Being an artist it is our privilege that we have a good life but how can you not repay those who make up the society. I am more shocked by those who are not supporting this, it is my humble request to them to come here.”
“There was no way I couldn’t be here at Singhu border. I used to watch videos from here in Canada and it brought me to tears. Old generation people are sitting and sleeping on the streets in such cold weather. I am nothing more than a singer from Punjab and I wanted to convey my solidarity,” he added.
The singer was also seen doing langar Sewa at Singhu border by distributing dal and roti to people. Earlier, a meeting between the Union government and farmer leaders concluded at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi on Wednesday with Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar stating that a consensus was reached on two out of four issues on the agenda. He also said that the next meeting will be held on January 4.
